C++ inline functions aren't macros. True, many compilers wil effectively return the last expression evaluated, and it would be nice if Zortech warned you that the functions consisted only of statements with no effect. But your code really needs to say what it means: int min(int x, int y) { return (x<y) ? x : y; } int max(int x, int y) { return (x>y) ? x : y; } Paul S. R.
